The Upper Deck - Scarborough Harbour Brewing Co.

Perched along the sparkling shores of Scarborough, Brisbane, Australia, The Upper Deck at Scarborough Brewing Co. is a beacon for lovers of craft brews and hearty, flavoursome fare. Here, the salt-kissed air meets the casual charm of a local brewery, welcoming you in for an experience that’s as laid-back as it’s delicious.

The Upper Deck’s vibe is unmistakeably nautical with a twist; think maritime meets modern industrial. The space is a symphony of rustic wood, gleaming metal, and touches of greenery, creating an atmosphere that’s both welcoming and effortlessly cool. It’s the kind of place where laughter flows as freely as the tap beer and the sunset views from the deck are as captivating as the menu.

Speaking of the menu, it’s a treasure trove of gastro delights designed to pair perfectly with their in-house brews. Start with their snacks and shares, imagine diving into a bowl of crispy chips, seasoned with SHBC's signature salt and a smear of house-made aioli. Or perhaps the cod fritters, with their golden crust giving way to tender fish, all the better dipped in zesty lime mayo. The halloumi chips are a must-try, their salty squeak complemented by spicy tomato relish, while the salt and pepper squid is a classic done right, with a tangy tartare sauce on the side.

Pizza lovers, rejoice! The Upper Deck delivers with options like the timeless Margherita, where simplicity reigns with rich tomato, melty cheese, and fresh basil. And what’s a meal without the perfect drink? The friendly staff are more than happy to guide you through their impressive selection of house-made beers, from crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs, there’s a pint to suit every palate.

As the day wanes and the lanterns cast a warm glow over the deck, The Upper Deck at Scarborough Brewing Co. stands as a testament to the simple pleasures of good food, great beer, and even better company. It’s a moment to savour.
